The Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering at TU Delft is looking for three motivated researchers for an exciting collaborative project on 3D-printed footwear innovation, in partnership with industrial collaborators. This project aims to develop an integrated computational design and digital fabrication workflow for next-generation footwear, combining biomechanics, computational design, mechanical metamaterials, additive manufacturing, and digital workflows to create novel footwear concepts with enhanced performance and manufacturability. One of the positions will focus specifically on biomechanics and evaluation.

Responsibilities:

  • Conduct gait-analysis experiments and biomechanical measurements.
  • Collect, process, and analyze plantar-pressure and related biomechanical data.
  • Contribute to the design and execution of participant studies.
  • Help translate measurement results into functional design requirements.
  • Evaluate footwear prototypes through participant-based testing.
  • Communicate findings within the team and support iterative prototype development.
